Course description

Windows Privilege Escalation is a critical skill set for cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, and ethical hackers operating in both red team and bug bounty environments. This discipline focuses on identifying and exploiting weaknesses in Windows systems that allow attackers to gain elevated access — from a regular user to administrative control. Practitioners learn to understand Windows internals, kernel and service vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and credential leaks to simulate real-world attack scenarios. Ethical hackers use privilege escalation techniques responsibly, under authorized conditions, to assess and strengthen system defenses, ensuring organizations can detect and remediate threats before malicious actors exploit them.
